Hi Ladderites,
I was in a training game tonight. Reddragon dropped and we waited for him to return, meanwhile, someone clicked on the game and joined, taking his civ.
Returning while everyone waits is called "hotjoining."
Please password protect your civ! You can return to the game and have folks wait for you for the usual time. If you don't make a return, the players can move on... and you might join later. I'm not sure what the Admins will say about late rejoins, as thats part of the new rules to consider.

I had problems installing the game until I was told to...
1. Use the ::same drive:: for installing the 2 CDs.
2. Use the default/automatic setting.
3. Note that when requested to put in second cd (take out cd 1 and put in cd 2), there is a browse function... I THOUGHT it was to look for the destination folder.. NO, it is for the location of cd 2! It should show that automatically. Don't browse.. let it install.
I was able to run the game nicely after that.
For those of you having problems, be sure to get the latest drivers for your graphics cards. You must also have Dx9c or better to run the game.
I wanted to have windowed mode, so found the Ini file in D:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 and carefully changed the file and saved it. (if you don't trust yourself, you can copy the file before you mess with it)

Yes... password your game AND civs!!! YIM is a good tool if you want to get ladder players in your game. Newbies dont know any better and will and can ruin your whole game.
